American Lawn Care Is Going Electric​

With rebates and other perks encouraging residents to say goodbye to gas-powered equipment, springtime is getting a little quieter.

For generations of Americans, the soundtrack to spring weekends has been a rise in bird song and the loud, constant “virrrrrr” of neighbors cutting their growing grass. But the gas lawn mowers, leaf blowers and weed eaters that have been used for over a century to keep lawns manicured are not only noisy — in the past few years, researchers have discovered that they also pose an outsized risk to the environment and to human health.

In response, cities across the U.S. are experimenting with incentive programs to encourage their residents to opt for more environmentally friendly electric lawn equipment. The shape these programs take is not one-size-fits all: From bans to rebates to tax credits offered at a variety of price points and stops along the customer journey, each program has made its own calculations that take into account what the location can afford and what will best attract residents to take action. But across the board, these relatively new programs are producing promising results.

My neighbor who just moved from Washington state to FL purchased an electric lawnmower from Home Depot. He was going to cut tje grass.himself. I told.him that when July rolls around I will give him the.number of my lawn guy who has a zero turn and does it in 10.minutes

My neighbor cut.the.lawn 3 times and did not.make it out of.April. Took him almost 2 hours to cut and trim and he has a pool. The electric.mowers do not work here.

I have a 40v.Ryobi.leaf blower that works great however, but needs 1 battery per house.

Maybe Elon can set up an attachment on his cars. Push a button, the lawnmower blade comes down and the self driving car turns into a self driving lawnmower.

And an upgrade package could be a "protest area escape" feature.
